How to Uninstall · **Released**: 08-29-2006

I haven't installed this. But - Let's say I install it. And let's say a year from now I want to reinstall it for what ever reason... Search engines will all have reindexed (via the 301 redirect) the rewritten page URLs. Is there any way to re-301 pages so that the original thread URLs are picked up and indexed again?

you could have a rewrite for each URL,, or 301 to the main,,
i don't believe there is an easy way

So far as I can see, you're right. Not good...

Currently, yes.

Anyway, I love the idea but I have too many pages indexed for too long to chance something happening and no way to 301 redirect back to the original ('real') urls. I know with vbseo it's possible if you set it up right, but even with that it's a scarry proposition to think of loosing all the indexed pages.

Ah! West Chester isn't too far

Yah, it's definitely something that will be introduced in the next major version.

That would be nice. I bought vbseo but haven't decided whether to install it. So far I'm leaning against it.

If it helps, the vbseo people wrote me:

Re: 301s

As long as you include your thread ID and forum ID in your CRU static
formats, you can add custom 301 redirect rules to your .htaccess file later.
Therefore, if you did decide to uninstall vBSEO for whatever reason, you
would 301 redirect the search engines back to the original dynamic format.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
